Whether you’d like a speculum for medical curiosity or kink reasons, MEO.de has a huge selection of sex speculums. One of those items is the Speculum Black Berlin. Made from stainless steel, the width is variable between 1.2″ and 1.6″ with a possible spread of up to 4″. This black speculum can be used vaginally or anally, and it offers two ways to adjust the spread.
The Speculum Black Berlin comes in pretty basic packaging. It will be in a sealed plastic bag that will need to be destroyed in order to get the speculum out from the bag. Outside of that, the speculum comes with no instructions or other packaging. If you’re unfamiliar with how to use a speculum, I’d recommend doing a bit of reading online before taking it for its first trial run.
While this black speculum might look confusing, the control of it is relatively simplistic. There are two screws with bolts on them. One of the screws controls how “wide” the two pieces will go apart from each other at the end that’s furthest away from the tip. The other screw controls how far apart the two “bills” will go. You’ll most-likely want to set the former before you insert the toy then manually open the speculum with the lever and set the other screw to hold the internal widening that you’re wanting. It’s a two-point system, and it works particularly well. You’ll understand it really quickly once you have the speculum in your hands.
With a toy like this, you’re usually worried about sharp edges or badly-designed corners. There’s no reason to worry with this one. All of the edges are entirely smooth. The “duck bill” is gently sloped for a comfortable insertion, and even the undersides of the “bill” are entirely smoothed. The only part of this speculum that has any texture is the nuts and bolts for size adjustment, and those will not come in contact with the wearer’s skin.
The other concern with a speculum is about pinching. In this case, you, again, have nothing to worry about. The two “bills” of the speculum are slightly different in length. This means that when opening or allowing the speculum to close entirely, there’s no chance of internal skin getting stuck between the toy. On the external spectrum of things, there is a small screw that might touch the skin during the widening process, but there’s absolutely nothing that’s going to pinch the skin. The manufacturers ensured that all of the “clampy bits” were on the side facing away from the person being penetrated.
If you’re looking for a toy that’s going to allow you to spread your partner pretty wide (and hold it there), this is going to do exactly what you need. Once slipped into your partner, the design allows you to slightly force it open then hold the speculum at that width. Once your partner is comfortable at that width, you can easily increase the width and have it hold that. It allows for easy incremental adjustment to achieve a wider spread over time (instead of starting gung-ho from the first time!) It’s comfortable and easy to hold onto – even with lubricated hands – and it operates without pinching anyone.
Designed to be sterilized for use over and over, this speculum is made from stainless steel. The toy should be bathed in warm water and anti-bacterial soap before and after every use. For sterilization, you can boil it or use a bleach/water solution. You’ll want to regularly use a toothbrush or other cleaning brush in order to clean around the smaller areas of the nuts and bolts. You can use any type of lubricant you’d like with this speculum (though I recommend you use a lot of it!), and it can be stored any way you’d like. Just make sure that you don’t unscrew the bolts so far that they become separated from the speculum. If so, your speculum won’t hold itself open as nicely as it was designed to do.
Overall, if you want to play with a speculum, you’re going to have a harder time finding a more comfortable, affordable, and high-quality option other than the Speculum Black Berlin. It adjusts really easily, doesn’t scratch or pinch the wearer, and it just looks pretty sexy too. It’s easily to sterilize and clean, and it’s something that offers a wide variety of adjustability too. Thanks to MEO.de for sending along this stainless steel black speculum for my Speculum Black Berlin review.
